With the beginning of time, Feudalism was the main social structure for people. It was used for societies generated from weak government. The weak government would have few resources, thus Feudalism was the developed a plan B. Basically the in depth, mentions about how all civilizations would have encountered Feudalism before. The Chinese during the Zhou dynasty, Russia had local landlords, along the areas in Ghanna and Mali. Feudalism was the political system use to base off to create a more parliament like structure. At one point, Feudalism developed in Western Europe and in Japan, was it was highly militaristic. Local lords had their own army that was a main control of the people. When the West has military, the centralized government used it for protection as well the samurais in Japan. Gradually as time went, military leaders became harder to control and the idea of having a military created a state of mind for war. Time after time, countries would use fighting as a way to solve problems. Also having a centralized area, it was a way to keep small areas to be stable – in the United States; we have mayors to control the city, governor to the state, president to the country.

Summary: Japan, Korea, Vietnam all countries around China adapted ideas for their way of life and way of ruling. All of the countries had borrowed the bureaucratic system from China, where people thought the way of ruling was strict enough on the people. The people of these civilizations also borrowed the military system probably because they saw how the Chinese were constantly trying to invade their own land. That probably influence them to have a better army for their own protection. Countries also adopted cultures from Chinese, such as Buddhism and Confucianism. People had building Buddhist monasteries and incorporated Confucianism into their laws. However in Vietnam the people chose not to adapt to Chinese culture but to come up with their own. People there believed in different things, yet they still interact with the Chinese when trading. Must of the countries borrowed the law code and how society was control. It was a general trend for the different areas, and that was probably because with all of the areas the Chinese had tried to incorporated these ideas in the areas. Also when the new civilizations were forming, they had sent people to study the Chinese life.
